"US Pushes for Temporary Ceasefire Resolution at UN Security Council Amid Gaza Conflict"

The Biden administration is seeking a temporary cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict by proposing a U.N. Security Council resolution to halt Israel's offensive in Rafah, Gaza. The U.S. is facing criticism for this move, with concerns about the impact on hostage negotiations and the survival of Hamas. Israel has opposed Biden's attempts to prevent its seizure of Rafah, emphasizing the need to secure the release of hostages. The U.S. State Department supports a two-state solution and opposes actions that endanger it. Meanwhile, Israeli leaders are urging pressure on Qatar to help secure the release of hostages.
